On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, from 12 - 1 p.m. ET, join our first virtual lunch and learn! This panel brings together former DOE leaders to explore how we communicate urgent climate challenges and solutions to the next generation. What can the arts—including a children's musical and grassroots comedy—do that policy briefs and press releases cannot? And what does it look like when the stories we tell kids, and ourselves, are honest about the world as it is, yet still dare to imagine something better?
Hear from LPO alum Hayley Emerson (producer, musical composer, singer/actor and writer), OCED alum Danielle Lemmon (comedian and once-viral Reddit star), IA alum Martha Kamara (mixed media artist behind the Sustainability Art Project online platform, marine social scientist, and policy specialist), and LPO alum Zainab Mirza (Co-Founder and Co-Host of Watts the Tea).
